Apology for the late response, and I only caught this cause I was visiting your newer posting's. I play "some" guitar as just a fill in rythem power chord thing. My main job was lead vocal work, and a specialty in Blues harp's, where I used effect's on them, some percussion's. Coverewd alot of heavy metal hard rock type cover's. I dont play anymore (band), but am in touch with several younger musician's, and at home I have a keyboard's set up where I work putting together piece's.
